Review: Best Glue for Dollhouses - This glue is the best I've found for putting together a dollhouse kit, as well as gluing on all the trim. Not only does it dry much like cement, it is tacky enough to hold whatever your gluing into the place you put it without sliding or moving until set. It can get a little messy, but mild soap and water cleans it up. And while it is fast drying, it's not so fast that if you glue something and realize it's crooked immediately, you do have time to readjust. I also found that paint adheres to it easily once it's dry. The ONLY issue I had is by the time I got down to 1/3 left of the bottle, the glue was thick and not as easy to work with. This makes me think that maybe I should have shaken the bottle better before opening at the very start. My husband also uses it for other woodworking projects and to date, it's holding it perfectly.
Review: It works. Quite well. - This -seems- to be nothing more than a very thick white glue product, but appearances can be deceiving. On its first use, I actually found it performed better than ordinary white glue (such as "Elmers"). It is thicker (hence the 'Tacky' in the name), and letting it set up for a few seconds after application increases the tack (and holding power) even more. As a test, I used my new Aileene's Original Tacky Glue to stick a 1/2 inch thick, rectangular piece (approximately 1 1/2 - 2 inches wide) of packing styrofoam onto a 3mm thick × 30mm circular wooden base for wargaming miniatures. I applied a bit of Aileene's directly to the base using the tip (which the user cuts to size, leaving a small, medium or large opening for fairly precise, more generous, or really generous application of adhesive), and spread it around the whole surface, squeezing out a bit more when necessary (I cut mine to the smallest, precise applicator size) to achieve a thin coverage overall. I applied a bit to the styrofoam at the same time, and let the glue set up on both for around 30 seconds. I then stuck them together, made sure of the positioning of the styrofoam (which still could be moved around easily), set the entire assembly down, put a small bottle of paint on top of the styrofoam to wiegh it down, and left everything alone for a minute or so. When I picked it up again, it was pretty secure: I didn't try to reposition either piece, but I was able to handle the assembly cautiously without anything sliding around. I then turned it upside down, and using the circular base as a guide, carved the styrofoam (now on the bottom) into the same shape with my X-acto and a fresh blade. Having done exactly this particular join -many- times in the past, I was surprised to be able to do this so quickly -- attempting to carve that small chunk of styro into shape so soon after gluing with regular white glue wouldn't have been possible. In fact, not only did I carve around the piece to match the edges of the base -- afterwards I even was able to carve up the top into sloping sides and tiny hills. This was excellent performance that just wouldn't have been possible with regular white glue, or even super glue -- the white would have required many hours of curing time, and a cyanoacrylate product would've dissolved the styrofoam entirely. I then applied another layer of glue to the entire surface, stuck a few tiny pieces of slate, representing stones, into the wet glue here and there, and covered everything else with a 'turf' product (from Bachmann) to represent soil. Now, finally I can set everything aside to dry completely before painting or attempting anything more. Great! Normally, after gluing something (styrofoam, cork, or another product) to the top of the base (or bases, more often) with Elmer's or some other carpenters or white glue, I would set it (or them) aside until much later, or even better, the next day, before attempting any carving, or working with extra products to add shape, texture, foliage and more to the base, before finally attaching a completed mini. What a wonderful time saver, and a splendid introduction to a product I'll be using regularly from now on. Aileene's Original Tacky Glue. Great product. Update: I used a small funnel to transfer glue from the original 8oz container to a smaller container (around 1oz), easier to move around and use in precise, close-up work. When cleaning up afterward, I discovered just how powerful an adhesive Aileene's really is. It took at least 2 or 3 minutes for all the glue in the funnel to drain, which initially I chalked up only to the increased tack of the product. While rinsing the stainless steel funnel however, the glue didn't simply rinse away, as PVA (white glue) would have. Under running water, I scrubbed at the residue judiciously with my fingers, yet the final, thinnest residue already was pretty firmly adhered to the stainless steel. Strong glue! I added a little soap into the process, but still couldn't immediately get it off with my fingers alone. I added more soap to the funnel, a bit to a cup of water, plopped the funnel into that and agitated it a bit, and decided to just let it soak for awhile. I came back to it after about 15 minutes or so, and now was able to clean up the last visible residue by scrubbing, now with my fingers alone, under a strong rinse. I also (the next day) know now that not only is this stuff as strong as an ox (compared to PVA, although there really IS no comparing it to a normal PVA in this regard), it also dries much the same as a 'normal' white glue, clear and without damaging (no crazing particularly) the things around it. I haven't tried it specifically, but I believe this glue would be just about the perfect adhesive for attaching clear plastic canopies (or windshields) to already painted model aircraft (or automobiles). Ultimately, the conclusion still is the same, only magnified considerably: Aileene's Original Tacky Glue. GREAT product.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this work as fabric glue or do I need to buy the fabric glue one from this brand? Thanks.**
A: No I would buy the actual fabric glue. This glue is to soft to hold fabrics and it would proudly wash right off if the fabric got wet.

**Q: Will this glue work on leather?**
A: I think it will. I purchased this at the Dollar Tree in Canada and used it on Birkenstock sandals and also a horse saddle pad. I love this glue! I will keep it handy for a variety of uses now that I’ve tried it! 
It is goopier than crazy glue and has more substance. It takes a while to dry, but dries clear. I was able to build up the back of the Birkenstocks (cork) by letting one layer dry and then adding another.

**Q: will this work as a adhesive for gold leaf application?**
A: Yes, this PVA type of glue, such as Original Tacky Glue or Quick Dry Tacky Glue will provide a uniform application of glue that will result in a smooth gold leaf surface.

**Q: Can a stiff  pvc tacky glued item be removed after tacky gluing??**
A: I would suspect yes, because I have had pads I glued to the bottom of chairs come off after 10 years.  If I were to try to do it, I would use a metal scraper to attempt to get under the item, that is assuming the item is reasonably flat.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Glue - you can marvel at how tacky it is - and tacky in a good way ITS GLUE!
*by K***E on January 28, 2026*

Glue is very subjective - you know like most important issues in life. Glue is important when you enjoy paper. This stuff works, more than in a pinch - you can use it for so many different things. Buying three at a time saves you a couple bucks too - I always cut the hole at the tip too big. My greatest failing. But its oddly reassuring to see three bottles on your shelf you know what I mean? Having a well-stocked cupboard is healthy.
